Opera 8.5

Using Opera 8.5. Why does it tell me Quicktime plug-in required when it's already on my machine and works fine within IE? Do I really need to download it again? I really like Opera, but this is bugging me.

I think you'll have to tell Opera where the programme is, if you open your preferences and have a look in Programs you should be able to add it there, I have had to do that with a few programmes myself.

If you open preferences then click on Programs, in the window that opens on the middle right hand side there are three buttons, click on the Add button.

In the Protocol window type Quicktime in the Protocol field, then in the lower part of the window click the radio button for 'Open with other application' in the field you are going to have to experiment here, either just type quicktime, or quicktime.exe, if that doesn't work you may have to choose the path where the programme is located by clicking on the Choose button.

Remember I'm giving instructions based on my system which is Linux, hopefully yours is similar.
